India’s growth story continues to strengthen on the global stage. Speaking from Washington, IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack said India remains a key growth engine for the world economy. The International Monetary Fund had earlier projected India’s GDP growth at 6.6% for FY26, driven largely by robust domestic consumption. However, India’s third-quarter growth has exceeded expectations, prompting the IMF to signal that an upward revision to its growth forecast is likely. The comments reinforce India’s position as one of the fastest-growing major economies at a time when global growth remains uneven. Strong consumer demand, macro stability and policy continuity are helping India outperform peers, making it a crucial pillar for global economic momentum.
